Jim Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Always has been, always will be even if the best side on the planet are playing in the Prem next season nothing will probably ever change in this city, footballing wise?

matthefish2002 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Could say same about Birmingham under performing. Since turn of the century clubs that are based in and around London have had a big advantage over other clubs really. Only mega big clubs like Man U and Liverpool or ones backed by an oil rich royal family like Man City can compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?.......other than Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham who exactly do you class as having an advantage because they are based in London......Chelsea could easily fall in to the mega rich owner category rather than London, Tottenham have won bugger all and Arsenal are the weakest of the so called big 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are saying but I’m not sure I agree - Fulham and Brighton got lucky with good managers, Bournemouth have an outstanding one......Palace and Watford I’d possibly agree with you and the whole West Ham story is just a shitfest, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBQ24 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 For a club our size it's surprising how little we have feature in European football down the years. None of it will matter though when we beat Bayern Munich home and away to secure our place in the Champions League Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham's owner is absolutely loaded. Watford, well what about the links they tied up with Udinese. Birhgton have just done superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Horse Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Definite Blunt bias that vid. Skips over our league titles, never mentions our long stretch in the prem, chooses random season to showcase them having a higher average attendance figure and then mentions us being in mid table with P&S issues whilst they are performing at the top despite them. Also, funny how this was made as it looks like they're about to go up but has that 'woe is us' sentiment about it that's just dripping from every corner of the sty at the moment. Yes, Sheffield is the forgotten football city but that video and the pig that made it can go and suck donkey wee pipe.

owler66 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If them daft sods in 1889 hadn't split from Wednesday and formed the pigs Sheffield would be a one club city with a hardcore fan base of 40,000 what a force in modern football that would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a decent watch but slightly inaccurate with some of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
